Remarks of President Barack Obama
Weekly Address
Saturday, March 12, 2011
Washington, DC
March is Women’s History Month, a time not only to celebrate the progress that women have made, but
also the women throughout our history who have made that progress possible.

One inspiring American who comes to mind is Eleanor Roosevelt. In 1961, the former First Lady was
unhappy about the lack of women in government, so she marched up to President Kennedy and handed
him a three-page list of women who were qualified for top posts in his administration. This led the
President to select Mrs. Roosevelt as the head of a new commission to look at the status of women in
America, and the unfairness they routinely faced in their lives.

Though she passed away before the commission could finish its work, the report they released spurred
action across the country. It helped galvanize a movement led by women that would help make our
society a more equal place.

It’s been almost fifty years since the Roosevelt commission published its findings – and there have been
few similar efforts by the government in the decades that followed. That’s why, last week, here at the
White House, we released a new comprehensive report on the status of women in the spirit on the one
that was released half a century ago.

There was a lot of positive news about the strides we’ve made, even in recent years. For example,
women have caught up with men in seeking higher education. In fact, women today are more likely
than men to attend and graduate from college.

Yet, there are also reminders of how much work remains to be done. Women are still more likely to live
in poverty in this country. In education, there are areas like math and engineering where women are
vastly outnumbered by their male counterparts. This is especially troubling, for we know that to
compete with nations around the world, these are the fields in which we need to harness the talents of
all our people. That’s how we’ll win the future.

And, today, women still earn on average only about 75 cents for every dollar a man earns. That’s a huge
discrepancy. And at a time when folks across this country are struggling to make ends meet – and many
families are just trying to get by on one paycheck after a job loss – it’s a reminder that achieving equal
pay for equal work isn’t just a women’s issue. It’s a family issue.

In one of my first acts as President, I signed a law so that women who’ve been discriminated against in
their salaries could have their day in court to make it right. But there are steps we should take to
prevent that from happening in the first place. That’s why I was so disappointed when an important bill
to give women more power to stop pay disparities – the Paycheck Fairness Act – was blocked by just two
votes in the Senate. And that’s why I’m going to keep up the fight to pass the reforms in that bill.

Achieving equality and opportunity for women isn’t just important to me as President. It’s something I
care about deeply as the father of two daughters who wants to see his girls grow up in a world where
there are no limits to what they can achieve.

As I’ve traveled across the country, visiting schools and meeting young people, I’ve seen so many girls
passionate about science and other subjects that were traditionally not as open to them. We even held
a science fair at the White House, where I met a young woman named Amy Chyao. She was only 16
years old, but she was actually working on a treatment for cancer. She never thought, “Science isn’t for
me.” She never thought, “Girls can’t do that.” She was just interested in solving a problem. And
because someone was interested in giving her a chance, she has the potential to improve lives.

That tells me how far we’ve come. But it also tells me we have to work even harder to close the gaps
that still exist, and to uphold that simple American ideal: we are all equal and deserving of the chance to
pursue our own version of happiness. That’s what Eleanor Roosevelt was striving toward half a century
ago. That’s why this report matters today. And that’s why, on behalf of all our daughters and our sons,
we’ve got to keep making progress in the years ahead.

Thanks for listening.

Having studied the amazingly complex

subject of world mythology and legend for
more than twenty years, I have found few
stories more stirring than those of ancient
Russia.
Regrettably for us, at the end of the twentieth
century very few Russian pre-Christian
(pagan) beliefs remain. Those that have
survived have been Christianized, their pagan
roots now long forgotten.

It may alter history for better or for worse. Leaders have been responsible for the most
extravagant follies and most monstrous crimes that have beset suffering humanity. They
have also been vital in such gains as humanity has made in individual freedom, religious
and racial tolerance, social justice, and respect for human rights. There is no sure way to
tell in advance who is going to lead for good and who for evil. But a glance at the gallery
of men and women in Ancient World Leaders suggests some useful tests.
One test is this: Do leaders lead by force or by persuasion? By command or by consent?
Through most of history leadership was exercised by the divine right of authority. The
duty of followers was to defer and to obey. “Theirs not to reason why/Theirs but to do
and die.”

make their first appearance in history would doubtless long since have been selected for
this purpose had not some of the German writers applied the terms German and Deutsch
as synonymous. This is doubtless the reason why Danish authors have adopted the word
“Goths” to describe the Germanic nations. But there is an important objection to this in
the fact that the name Goths historically is claimed by a particular branch of the family
— that branch, namely, to which the East and West Goths belonged, and in order to
avoid ambiguity, the term should be applied solely to them. It is therefore necessary to

Today China claims that its 1979 incursion into Vietnam was a small defensive operation
conducted by a few thousand border guards who quickly seized their objectives and withdrew.1
This is untrue. The 1979 campaign was a massive military operation involving eleven Chinese
armies ( jun, the equivalent of a U.S. corps) of regular ground forces, militia, and naval and air
force units, totaling at least 450,000 troops. Far from being a minor cross-border incursion, it
was similar in scale to the assault with which China made such an impact on its entry into the
Korean War in November 1950.2 Furthermore, the unconventional warfare operations that
occurred in conjunction with the 1979 campaign extended into areas far beyond the Sino-
Vietnamese border. The Chinese incursion of 1979 was in reality a major campaign of a war
that ran for more than a decade, from the late 1970s until the level of violence in the Sino-
Vietnamese and Vietnamese–Cambodian theaters at last subsided in the late 1980s and the
protagonists took the first steps toward normalizing relations.
This chapter deals with the Chinese incursion at the operational level, within the
context of the Third Indochina War.3

Had this country never suffered a cross-channel

invasion, had she been left to work out her destiny unaided and
uninfluenced by her neighbours, it is quite conceivable that at some
period in her history she would have imbibed the witchcraft spirit, and,
with the genius characteristic of her, would have blended it with her own
older beliefs, and so would have ultimately evolved a form of that creed
which would have differed in many points from what was held elsewhere.
THE LUTE. There was limited use for the lute in Greece and Rome, although
the instrument was known in Mesopotamia as early as the third millennium
B.C.E., and in Egypt soon thereafter. The name pandouros (“lute”) may derive
from the Sumerian pan-tur (“little bow”). In both Egypt and the
Mediterranean, the lute was another instrument primarily played by women.

Traditions found in the literatures of various European peoples in regard to an immigration from the
East supported this view.
The progenitors of the Romans were said to have come from Troy. The fathers of the Teutons were
reported to have immigrated from Asia, led by Odin. There was also the original home of the domestic
animals and of the cultivated plants. And when the startling discovery was made that the sacred books
of the Iranians and Hindus were written in languages related to the culture languages of Europe, when
these linguistic monuments betrayed a wealth of inflections in comparison with which those of the
classical languages turned pale, and when they seemed to have the stamp of an antiquity by the side of
which the European dialects seemed like children, then what could be more natural than the following
conclusion: The original form has been preserved in the original home; the farther the streams of

emigration got away from this home, the more they lost on the way of their language and of their
inherited view of the world that is, of their mythology, which among the Hindus seemed so original and
simple as if it had been watered by the dews of life’s dawn.
Known to the classical writers of the first and second centuries as the Vanedi, a people living beyond
the Vistula, the Balts and Slavs originated the northeastern Indo-European languages spoken in central
and eastern Europe, the Balkans, and parts of north Asia.The Slavs are generally subdivided into three
linguistic and cultural groups: the Western Slavs, including the Poles, Czechs, Moravians, and
Slovaks; the Eastern Slavs, made up of Russians, Ukrainians, and Belorussians; and the Southern Slavs,
comprising the Bulgars, Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes. The closely related Balts are also divided into
three groups: Latvians, Lithuanians, and Prussians.

Xenephon portrays King Cambyses as a wise, though old and tired,

China planned for “battles of quick decision” (sujue zhan) but

conducted a series of slow, indecisive operations. In the Lang Son
area, one Vietnamese regiment held up two Chinese armies for a
week, and another Chinese army needed up to ten days to secure
Lao Cai and Cam Duong, a pair of towns that lie less than fifteen
kilometers from the border. The PLA had so much difficulty
securing Cao Bang that it had to commit at least two armies to a
renewed assault on a city that it claimed to have already taken, and
in Quang Ninh a platoon of Vietnamese delayed for five hours a
Chinese regiment’s capture of Cao Ba Lanh Mountain, inflicting on
the Chinese regiment the loss of 360 of its 2,800 men. Such losses,
repeated all over the battlefield, were grievous and bought little. The
PLA proved incapable of using its masses of troops
effectively through the use of suitable tactics, and incapable
therefore of attaining a tempo of operations that would translate into
its desired “battles of quick decision.”

Whereas the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons assembled at
Westminster, lawfully, fully and freely representing all the estates of the
people of this realm, did upon the thirteenth day of February in the year
of our Lord one thousand six hundred eighty-eight [old style date]
present unto their Majesties, then called and known by the names and
style of William and Mary, prince and princess of Orange, being present
in their proper persons, a certain declaration in writing made by the said
Lords and Commons in the words following, viz.:
The representatives of the people of France, formed into a National
Assembly, considering that ignorance, neglect, or contempt of human rights,
are the sole causes of public misfortunes and corruptions of Government,
have resolved to set forth in a solemn declaration, these natural,
imprescriptible, and inalienable rights: that this declaration being constantly
present to the minds of the members of the body social, they may be for
ever kept attentive to their rights and their duties; that the acts of the
legislative and executive powers of government, being capable of being
every moment compared with the end of political institutions, may be more
respected; and also, that the future claims of the citizens, being directed by
simple and incontestable principles, may tend to the maintenance of the
Constitution, and the general happiness.

When, at the Council of Clermont in 1095, Pope Urban II called for an armed pilgrimage to liberate the
Holy Land, he brought into existence a movement that was to have profound
consequences for the history of Europe, the Near East, and North Africa for centuries to come. Hundreds of
thousands of men and women took part in crusade expeditions to various goals, a huge number of them
dying in the process. Millions of people lived as subjects of states that
were brought into existence as a direct consequence of crusades to Palestine and Syria, to the Baltic lands,

That’s why, last week, here at the White House, we released a new comprehensive report on the status
of women in the spirit on the one that was released half a century ago.
Meanwhile, with the legion which he had with him and the soldiers which had assembled from the
Province, he carries along for nineteen [Roman, not quite eighteen English] miles a wall, to the height
of sixteen feet, and a trench, from the Lake of Geneva, which flows into the river Rhone, to Mount
Jura, which separates the territories of the Sequani from those of the Helvetii. When that work was
finished, he distributes garrisons, and closely fortifies redoubts, in order that he may the more easily
intercept them, if they should attempt to cross over against his will. When the day which he had
appointed with the embassadors came, and they returned to him; he says, that he can not,
consistently with the custom and precedent of the Roman people, grant any one a passage through
the Province; and he gives them to understand, that, if they should attempt to use violence he would
oppose them. The Helvetii, disappointed in this hope, tried if they could force a passage (some by
means of a bridge of boats and numerous rafts constructed for the purpose; others, by the fords of
the Rhone, where the depth of the river was least, sometimes by day, but more frequently by night),
but being kept at bay by the strength of our works, and by the concourse of the soldiers, and by the
missiles, they desisted from this attempt.
Man, apparently, cannot maintain himself in the universe without belief in some
arrangement of the general inheritance of myth. In fact, the fullness of his life would
even seem to stand in a direct ratio to the depth and range not of his rational thought
but of his local mythology. Whence the force of these unsubstantial themes, by which
they are empowered to galvanize populations, creating of them civilizations, each with
a beauty and self-compelling destiny of its own? And why should it be that whenever
men have looked for something solid on which to found their lives, they have chosen
not the facts in which the world abounds, but the myths of an immemorial imagination
—preferring even to make life a hell for themselves and their neighbors, in the name of
some violent god, to accepting gracefully the bounty the world affords?

the grand masters, the impressionists, the expressionists,
and the cubists, as well as that of the ancient and
contemporary native cultures of Mexico. The

particularly Diego Rivera (1886–1957), Jose´ Clemente

Oengus was asleep one night when he saw something like a young girl
coming towards the head of his bed, and she was the most beautiful woman
in Eriu. He made to take her hand and draw her to his bed, but, as he
welcomed her, she vanished suddenly, and he did not know who had taken
her from him. He remained in bed until the morning , but he was troubled
in his mind: the form he had seen but not spoken to was making him ill. No
food entered his mouth that day. He waited until evening, and then he saw
a timpán in her
hand, the sweetest ever, and she played for him until he fell asleep. Thus he
was all night, and the next morning he ate nothing.

He thinks the same of the description of Britain, the
notices of the Roman emperors, and the detail of the first
arrival of the Saxons. But, it may be observed, those
passages to which he alludes are not to be found in the
earlier MSS. The description of Britain, which forms the
introduction, and refers us to a period antecedent to the
invasion of Julius Caesar; appears only in three copies of
the "Chronicle"; two of which are of so late a date as the
Norman Conquest, and both derived from the same source.
Whatever relates to the succession of the Roman emperors
was so universally known, that it must be considered as
common property: and so short was the interval between the
departure of the Romans and the arrival of the Saxons,
that the latter must have preserved amongst them
sufficient memorials and traditions to connect their own
history with that of their predecessors.
discrepancy.

As in Mexico, artists in the former British colonies around the world, the
dominions, sought to create unique national arts that promoted national
identity by connecting with the past, both colonial and native, and
with the different peoples and cultures of the present. ‘‘The artists of the
Dominions,’’ writes MacKenzie, ‘‘began to draw upon the motifs,
pigments, and spiritual concepts of indigenous art. By the middle of the
twentieth century, this fusing of local symbols with European techniques
had become standard throughout the territories of white settlement’’
(1996, p. 315).
Rome was a slave-owning society. Although the Romans are often portrayed as kind and
benevolent in their treatment of slaves, the Roman system of slavery was brutally oppressive
and its victims were often subjected to inhuman conditions. But slavery in the Roman world
was not racially motivated and it did offer possibilities for emancipation. In those respects, it
was fundamentally different from the slavery
that existed in America and in the British colonies. Romans considered neither the concept nor
the practice of slavery evil or unusual. They recognized
that slavery was contrary to the laws of nature, but accepted it as a law of man. Military victors
made slaves of the people they conquered and, as Rome conquered more and more people,
slaves began to flood domestic markets. Piracy and kidnapping also increased the supply of
slaves.
A major military engagement in which a Mongol army commanded by Kitbuga Noyon was
decisively defeated by a Mamluk army from Egypt near ‘Ayn J￠l‰t (the Spring of Goliath), a
village situated between the towns of Bethsan and Nablus (in mod. West Bank), on 3
September 1260. The Mongols under Chinggis (Genghis) Khan, his sons,
and his senior commanders had invaded the northeastern regions of the Islamic world in 1220.
During the next forty years they swept all before them, overthrowing or reducing to submission
virtually every Muslim ruling dynasty in central
Asia, Persia, Afghanistan, and Anatolia, culminating in Hulegu’s conquest and virtual
destruction of Baghdad in 1258. In January 1260 a Mongol army seized Aleppo in
northern Syria and on 1 March that year entered Damascus, the governing center of Maml‰k
Syria. In response a substantial Mamluk army was sent from Egypt to halt the Mongol advance.
It was commanded by Sultan Qutuz, while its vanguard was led by Baybars al-Bunduqd￠ri,
who himself became sultan later that year.
Most sources agree that the Mongol army was outnumbered by that of the Maml‰ks, although
the widely accepted figures of 120,000 Mamluks fighting a mere 10,000 Mongols are probably
a great exaggeration. The Mongols were also
supported by numerous Christian allies or auxiliaries.

there are no limits to what they can achieve. The next governor of Sierra Leone, who had oversight over the Gold
Coast, Charles MacCarthy (1822–1824), discarded Dupuis’s advice to
remain on friendly terms with the Asante. Rather, he organized an anti-
Asante coalition between December 1822 and May 1823. MacCarthy’s
contempt for the Asante was exemplified in his failure to send a message
to Kumasi, the Ashanti capital, on his arrival in the Gold Coast, as
demanded by custom. He also rejected the overtures of accommodation
from the Asantehene (ruler) Osei Bonsu (r. ca. 1801–1824).

Yet so vain is man, and so blinded by his vanity, that no
writer, up to the very end of the nineteenth century,
expressed any idea that intelligent life might have developed
there far, or indeed at all, beyond its earthly level. Nor was
it generally understood that since Mars is older than our
earth, with scarcely a quarter of the superficial area and
remoter from the sun, it necessarily follows that it is not
only more distant from time's beginning but nearer its end.
She was just interested in solving a problem. And because someone was interested in giving her a

The majority of slaves worked in agriculture and industry. Th e nature of their

work varied enormously.
In farming, for example, one slave might perform the lowest type of drudgery,
actually pulling a plow through a fi eld, while another was privileged to serve as
overseer with power over all the farm slaves.
In industry, at one end of the spectrum were slaves who performed the dangerous
work of a miner or a quarryman while others produced fi nely fashioned
sculptures or frescoes.
Slaves also served on the staff s of political, religious, and military leaders, as
personal attendants, curriers, and secretaries. Th e navy depended on slaves as
oarsmen. Forced to endure diffi cult and dangerous conditions, galley slaves who
rowed below decks were crucial to the success of the Roman navy. Public slaves
were the property of the government and kept the city in good working order.

On the following day they move their camp from that place; Caesar does the
same, and sends forward all his cavalry, to the number of four thousand (which he
had drawn together from all parts of the Province and from the Aedui and their
allies), to observe toward what parts the enemy are directing their march. These,
having too eagerly pursued the enemy's rear, come to a battle with the cavalry of
the Helvetii in a disadvantageous place, and a few of our men fall. The Helvetii,

significant role in bringing about the superior capability the system has

A-Wing
the generalized name of the Dodonna/Blissex RZ-1 Starfighter. It is a flat, one-man, wedged-shaped snub
fighter built for the Alliance after the lost of the Hoth base and prior to the Battle of Endor. The A-Wing
was designed, as it's name implies, by Jan Dodonna and Walex Blissex. Because the Alliance was short
on funds, most A-Wings were custom-built in private shops. The ship Tycho Celchu flew at the Battle of
Endor had its cockpit inlaid with Fijisi wood. It is 9.6 meters in length, and was designed for interception
and long-range reconnaissance. A unique feature of the A-wing is the short hydro-servo bearing installed
in each wingtip, allowing the pilot to tilt the laser cannons up to 60 degrees up or down. Its top sublight
speed is 120 MGLT, and can maneuver at 1,300 kilometers per hour in an atmosphere. It has limited
navcomp capabilities, being able to calculate only 2 jumps before requiring recalibration.

Those familiar with my firrst book, No Shining Armor: The Marines at
War inVietnam, will know that book attempts to portray the American
infantry experience in Vietnam through the efforts of a single unit—the
3rd Battalion,
3rd Marines. It was not a book about politics, generals, grand strategy,
or other lofty topics except as these subjects affected the day-to-day
lives of our ¤ghting men in Vietnam. It was essentially a book about
men at war.
This book is an attempt to once more deal with the human side of
warfare, but in a different setting, against a different enemy, and with a
fundamentally different public perception about the worth of the
efforts of the American warrior.

By the middle of the nineteenth century, large waves of immigrants were

pouring into America. Nearly 3 million immigrants arrived in America

The Origins of the Republican Party. Prejudice against foreigners,
particularly Catholic foreigners, soon followed.
On the same day in 1995, Thomas Jefferson joined both the Republican and
Democratic Parties. At a Republican Party fund-raiser, dubbed the Jefferson-
Eisenhower Dinner, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives (and
former history professor) Newt Gingrich spoke of Jefferson's Republican Party
credentials. "This great Founding Father," Gingrich boasted, "knew the
importance of limited government, the folly of 'entangling alliances,' and the
need for equitable taxation." If alive today, he implied, Jefferson would be a
Republican.
"No way," retorted Iowa's fiery New Deal Democrat, Sen. Tom Harkin.
Speaking at the annual Democratic Party fund-raiser, the Jefferson-Jackson
Day Dinner, Harkin hailed Jefferson as a "compassionate activist," dedicated
to government interventionism on behalf of noble causes at home and abroad.
"If alive today," Harkin said, "Jefferson would be a Democrat.'' Would the real

Bio-energy Array
this prototype biological weapon was developed by the Qektoth
Confederation. Like many of their other designs, the bio-energy array
has the ability to pass through conventional shields to attack the target
below. The weapon discharges a blue, lightning-like tangle of
energy at its target, much like the pulse from an ion cannon. However,
the weapon requires so much power to operate that it effectively
drains the starship of power. Shields and life support suffer until the
weapon can be recharged. (KO)
What chiefly attracts and chiefly benefits students of history

is just this—the study of causes and the consequent power
of choosing what is best in each case. Now the chief cause

fountain-head, all designs and plans of action not only
originate, but reach their consummation.

Most Americans view the Soviet invasion of
Afghanistan as a naked act of aggression by a ruthless,
totalitarian state. The reality was far more complex. For
more than a year, Soviet leaders rejected pleas from the
Afghan communist government to send troops to
help put down rebellion by the rural population
protesting the regime’s merciless modernization
programs. After Moscow did invade, it found itself
locked in conflict—essentially, a civil war—it
could barely comprehend. While it cannot be said that
Afghanistan triggered the Soviet collapse, it did project
an image of a failing empire unable to deal with a
handful of bedraggled partisans in a remote part of its
southern frontier.

I make the case that the Framers were substantially
influenced by ancient history and classical political
theory, and I very briefly examine the education of the
members of the Framing Generation—the availability
of classical readings and sources to the Framers and
their inculcation in classical republican
values. In Part Two, I turn to Roman Republican
models of American constitutionalism and consider
the theory of mixed government as applied to the
Roman constitution and the distribution of powers
among the organizations and institutions of the
Roman Republic, as well as the way
that the Framers understood these classical
constitutional designs.
